The Harvester (New Magic)

The halflings of the Gottland are a fierce people who enjoy fighting like few others. As such they prize close quarter weapons, hand axes and knives. A favored is the harvester, a heavy set, singled edged, curved knife. The blade ranges near 10 inches in length, with an S-shaped cross-guard and the handle usually made of bone or ivory. The harvester is a +1 knife, however, the magic blade can actually feed its wielder as the offering rune bound within it draws out the life force of whomever it strikes. For every six points of damage the blade inflicts the wielder gains 1 HP back; only the knife's +1 bonus counts toward the damage, the wielder's strength does not.
